He was involved in Jordan Henderson’s opener and missed a guilt-edged chance to give us a lead with a half volley. As per usual though, Coutinho found the pockets of space from which he can torment defences, and it’s great to see him back fit.

Since Jurgen Klopp took charge, Coutinho has scored four and assisted one, and we’ll need to him continue contributing to both these tallies due to our striking difficulties. We battered West Brom yesterday in terms of possession and chances but left with only one point because we’re not clinical enough.

It’s Watford away next, and following three matches without a win, Coutinho and co. will be desperate to get back on winning ways before the intense festive period.
